Tej and Aishwarya’s engagement on April 19, 2018 was kept simple. The reason was later revealed by a source close to the family. It said, “The event was kept simple due to Lalu Yadav’s absence from the scene”. Tej had taken to Twitter to express his father’s void for not being able to attend his son’s engagement. He simply wrote: “Miss you Papa”. (Don't Miss! Prince Narula Gets His Fiancee Yuvika Chaudhary's Name Inked In Hindi On His Body)
As per Zee News reports, it is claimed that Aishwarya was Lalu Prasad’s wife Rabri Devi’s choice. On Lalu Prasad’s 70th birthday in 2017, when media questioned Rabri Devi about the marriage plans of her elder son, she had shared that she was looking for ‘sanskaari’ girls for her sons. Rabri had also added that she is looking for a girl who refrains from visiting malls and theatres and that she should also be a home-maker. As expected, it aroused a mild controversy but Lalu very smartly stepped in and took to Twitter and cleared the air of confusion. He wrote on his page: “Sanskaari bahu doesn't mean veiled, home bound, dependent lady. It means strong willed, loving, caring lady, whether working women or housewife”.
We wish the couple an eternity of togetherness and happiness.
